About Airbnb

Starting your own business and picking the right niche in no time

At Airbnb, we believe that technology-enabled, people-to-people home sharing promotes healthy tourism—tourism that benefits the hosts who share their homes, the guests who are seeking authentic experiences, and the local residents whose cultures, customs and economies are respected, observed and supported. To expand engagement in healthy tourism, we are constantly searching for new ways to bring the benefits of our platform to more communities. Africa now counts 100,000 listings, and hosts on Airbnb have welcomed 1.2 million guests in the past year.
